Skylar Vann scored 15 points and Zya Vann 14 for Oklahoma (5-0), which scored the first 16 points of the second half en route to a 28-4 edge in the third quarter.

Kiara Jackson had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Lady Rebels (4-2), who led 26-23 after one quarter and trailed 39-38 at halftime.

Raegan Beers had 10 points and seven rebounds for the Sooners, who shot 47.9 percent while hitting 12 of 29 3-point tries. They held a 51-37 edge in rebounds.

UNLV shot 31.3 percent while making 8 of 29 3-point tries. The Lady Rebels were outscored 38-18 in the paint, and their reserves were outscored 44-7 by Oklahoma’s backups.
